Hoping to play the upcoming 3DS Animal Crossing in English this year? Well...The game is getting a release in Japan later this fall, but many AC fans don't understand Japanese.

Today in Los Angeles, Nintendo ran through a list of its upcoming 3DS titles for later this year. Absent was Animal Crossing.

That doesn't mean Nintendo won't release AC in the West this year (they can always reveal it later this year), but it does leave many gamers wondering where the heck the game is and why can't they look forward to playing it in 2012. Stay tuned.
